Last year was Amy's first year of operating the bookstore. Amy and Ken elected to carry forward a $5,000 net operating loss from the first year of business into 2012.

This year, Amy loaned a friend $20,000 so that he could make an investment. Instead of making the investment, the friend lost all the money gambling and left for parts unknown. Amy has no hope of ever collecting on this bad debt.

Ken, who ordinarily never gambles, won $25,000 at a casino birthday party for one of his friends. This amount should be reported on the ''Other Income'' line of Form 1040.

The Booths support Ken's parents, Rod (Social Security number 124-80-9050)

and Mary (Social Security number 489-37-6676) Booth, who live in their own home. Ken and Amy live at 2345 Park Ave, Bellview, ME 04104, and their Social Security numbers are 343-75-3456 (Ken) and 123-45-7890 (Amy).

Required:

Complete the Booths' federal income tax return for 2012. Use Form 1040, Schedule C, Schedule D, and Form 8949, on pages 3-49 to 3-56, and any other appropriate schedule(s) you need to complete this tax return. A statement is required to be attached to a return for a non business bad debt, but this requirement may be ignored for this problem. Assume no 1099-B is filed in association with the bad debt when filling out Schedule D.
